Yep, people involved are the biggest problem sometimes.

I’ve had to figure how to fix many issues myself, because quite often upon finding a thread where someone already had an issue that I had, folks were tryna gaslight the OP why it’s not actually an issue, eventually turning the thread into shit flinging contest. Or the good old “don’t do that, you’ll break something” (that I proceeded to do and was absolutely okay).

Not to mention how FOSS developers have to deal with entitled assholes every now and then.

So, you may have noticed that 5 GHz Wi-Fi has smaller coverage area than 2.4 GHz.

It works that way all the way down to infrasound, which is <20 Hz, and natural examples would be whale communications (thousands of kilometers) or volcano eruptions (infrasound wave from Krakatoa eruption lapped around entire globe multiple times).

As for human factors - basically any big industrial tech object is gonna be the source of ultrasound. So it’s kind of safe to assume that infrasound from data centers may be “heard” from at least several kilometers away. Dunno how it compares to refineries and power substations - but they’re also source of that.

Infrasound. Proven Possible (>100dB is absolutely harmful though, lower levels are object of studies now and testing on humans yielded inconclusive results) negative impact on people’s health and general wellbeing, waves travel quite far and have high penetration, and data centers are absolutely the source of it with all the fans and pumps.

Not saying that there 1:1 causation here, but having a data center around will absolutely make you miserable, and dizzy too.

I’d rather say that pleasure is simply too great to notice that one’s about to flatline, so people just go like that.

Granted. Civilization and ecosystems immediately collapse as everything is in a constant state of climax. Hundreds of millions of people die in car, airplane and even train crashes. Rest is going to die soon due to cardiac arrests, dehydration and kidney failures.

If one mashes bugs in blender rather than milk them - it ain’t bug milk, it’s bug juice.

Meanwhile, biggest cooperatively owned businesses around the world usually switched to that form of ownership due to withdrawal of state subsidies, like New Zealand’s farmer cooperative, or Argentinian businesses where workers just all chimed in to buy out their “bankrupt” workplaces and set them back on their feet.

I blame Jesus. If not for him - we’d probably still be believing in sacred forests and shit.

Sometimes I happen upon articles that make me think that I’m doing wrong kinds of research myself. 🌚

Hey, this is just returning to origins of democracy. Ancient Athenian magistrates served 1 year long terms, and Roman consuls also had 1 year long terms.

I’ve worked at different places that used Teams, and that thing with having to re- login regularly is certainly fault of whoever administers Teams within your organization.

I can sometimes hear Teams notification sound from neighbour’s apartment, triggers me to check my phone almost every time.

Wait, so he’s been at it for years now?

I’ve had his posts in my feed somewhat recently and I was kind of in awe of dude’s dedication to do full time posting on topic of Linux users having no life, but had no idea he’s been doing it for so long now. 🌚

Yeah, BUT… thrift stores, and also charities with donated clothes.

There was a homeless guy wandering around street where I live who was wearing Minecraft creeper cap, so I’d say there’s non-zero chance of him getting Pikachu shirt at some point. 🗿

I have a functioning ancient Canon printer in my office that can do that. 🌚

Would still be using it if not for safety concerns regarding old laser printers.

If you’re very new to that - I’d just recommend picking up some Arduino (at least UNO R3) starter kit plus some measurement tools - multimeter and maybe an oscilloscope (there are cheap handheld ones like DSO).

And then you just fool around with what you’ve got - try to read each sensors data, try to use each actuator, think of some useful projects with what you’ve got.

And from there you can go to stuff like ESP32 to explore wireless stuff (mostly compatible with Arduino too).

That’s a big “IF” tho. I’ve been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don’t even use search engines anymore. 🌚

When they also say “We’re one big family here!”. They don’t say it’s a dysfunctional one. 🌚

Lives claimed by climate change

Lives claimed by murderers.

These are the same thing.

Sir, you’re under arrest for not adding age verification to your LFS build. 🚓

Now that I thought about that - it gets kinda funny since most non-open source operating systems already have some sorts of age verification. Microsoft, for example, already knows user’s birth date in majority of cases. And degoogling one’s Android phone also leads up to a open source operation system in there.
